I recently got to meet social psychologist Lee Jussim [Email him] of Rutgers University. Back in 2001 I had reviewed a book Dr. Jussim had written in collaboration with two other scholars, book title Stereotype Accuracy: Toward Appreciating Group Differences. My review was titled “Stereotypes Aren’t So Bad,” which is more or less the message... Read More

The state of our military is a bit worrying. Those of us with family members serving have more to worry about than the average. I have no doubt our soldiers, sailors, and airmen will do their fighting best with any mission we assign them. But politicized leadership and stupid ideas about human nature may get... Read More

On Radio Derb recently I have been promoting a theme of “academic nationalism.” Higher education, I have argued, is a precious resource; and our own citizens should have first call on it. As I observed in the February 17th podcast: I enlarged on this theme March 17th, commenting on an article in The Economist’s bimonthly... Read More

Another week, another Executive Order on immigration, another effort by judges to block it. Like a great many of our other problems, this one is a result of gross stupidity on the part of our federal government in the recent past. Here I get to repeat one of my favorite apothegms: The most astonishing statistic... Read More

As if Donald Trump wasn’t doing enough to make goodwhite liberals sputter and swoon, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia set off another spasm of PC outrage on Wednesday last week. The Supremes were hearing oral arguments inFisher v. University of Texas You’ll recall that Abigail Fisher, a white lady, sued the University of Texas, claiming... Read More

A few days ago, I had the honor of sitting at a dinner gathering across the table from James Watson, the world’s greatest living geneticist, joint winner of theNobel Prize for discovering the structure of the DNA molecule. It was a private gathering so I’m not offering any specifics. But I can report that Dr.... Read More

There is among us a poet, a middle-aged white guy named Michael Derrick Hudson. Mr. Hudson wrote a poem, title: “The Bees, the Flowers, Jesus, Ancient Tigers, Poseidon, Adam and Eve.” That’s the title. I shall refer to it as “The Bees, etc.” The poem itself isn’t much longer than its title: 178 words, organized... Read More

The Schumer-Rubio Amnesty/ Immigration Surge Bill emerged from the Senate Judiciary committee May 21st. The full Senate will consider a motion to vote on the bill (after having first, of course, pondered a motion to vote on the motion to vote) next Monday, June 10th. So far as I can ascertain, neither the bill nor... Read More

John Derbyshire writes an incredible amount on all sorts of subjects for all kinds of outlets. (This no longer includes National Review, whose editors had some kind of tantrum and fired him. He is the author of We Are Doomed: Reclaiming Conservative Pessimism and several other books. His most recent book, published by VDARE.com com is FROM THE DISSIDENT RIGHT (also available in Kindle).His writings are archived at JohnDerbyshire.com.

Places like Chelmsford are sometimes seen as "white flight" destinations, with many living there having moved from places like London's East End. It is relatively prosperous, and the kind of place many Britons move to once they can afford to, not necessarily because there are "too many Asians" et...

I find the fact that people like Savile and Smith seemed immune from serious investigation during their lifetimes at least as disturbing as anything emerging from Telford or Rotherham, and both were lily-white. They were also rather prominent in politics and society.

During most of the 1990s I lived in a middle-sized English city, with a fairly high presence of people from the Indian subcontinent. One day I decided to go to a smaller town nearby which had a ten-pin bowling alley. The smaller town was more prosperous than the larger, but what was especially no...

"The government's responsibility is not to cow before the mob but to stand up and protect democratic principles, free speech being the foremost."
Actually, I think the government's first obligation is to maintain the peace & good governance of the UK.
And, incidentally, free speech IS open ...

They look white to you, you racist lying demonic piece of trash?
Well yes, Old Sport, Jimmy Saville and the Operation Hydrant spotlighted in the video I posted bunch look white to me. Although I must admit my eyes ain't what they used to be...

I realise it runs against the narrative of this thread, but I'm currently residing in Chelmsford in Essex and the England of the BBC and Unz is a long way from here.
I haven't recieved any clear reasons as to why this should be so, but just half an hour from the City of London (Liverpool Stre...

Native Brit pedophiles should hang as well. Zero tolerance. Jimmy Savile and others are accused of victimizing around 600 kids over a 40 year period while the Pakistani rape gangs have now victimized around 2500 in the same time frame with most occurring in Telford and Rotherham. Some sources ...

I agree with all you say. But the primary responsibility belongs to the electorate. A majority of Western people have an insouciant attitude toward the world around them. They would rather watch shit programs on TV than become informed on important issues. The West has become more shallow and ...

>>Why is it that you don’t see much of a crude, low-brow Chav-type culture among the working classes on the Continent ? Of course you have it in Russia, but that’s pretty far east.<<
Hmmm. Rock and Roll?

Sorry, animallogic, if that came off kind of rude this morning. We just should be careful, in my opinion, as to how we define things, or the cntrl-left will take it and run with it, per my examples. I'm no lawyer, but to me "incitement" should be very specific words exhorting violence right now...

>>Although I sympathize with the disgust felt by the author & most commentators, its worth pointing out that the UK authorities probably just dont want to deal with all the violent shenanigans that would occur if the discussed persons were to get up & speak in public: the UK version...

The responsibility ultimately does inhere in the population, but, to be empathetic, they have been hornswaggled by the deception that their democratic processes are something other than a snare for the 'common man'. Moreover, the majority of people have been compromised because they have unthink...

I’m totally speechless. I will say that white Britons who aren’t insane are well within their rights to hunt down these Pakistani Muslim savages and impose their own brand of justice on them and their families who in some cases have aided and abetted them.
Yes, and again, that would keep ...

"Godfree Roberts. (That has to be a pseudonym.)". Nope. It's my legal name.
"If, instead of Mao’s dictatorship, China had in 1949 acquired a consensual, open form of government — or even, like Taiwan, just a caudillo style of authoritarianism — they would have been far better off, and woul...
